Dysnatremias Linked With ESKD, Death
Findings may help clinicians better risk-stratify patients with CKD.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Hyponatremia Linked to Dementia
Patients with hyponatremia and other risk factors for dementia might need closer monitoring.
Low, High Sodium in ESKD Increases In-Hospital Death Risk, Hospital Stays
Hyper- and hyponatremia in patients with kidney failure are significantly associated with a 2.0- and 1.8-fold increased risk of dying in the hospital, respectively.
Sodium Abnormalities at Hospital Admission More Likely With COVID-19
Hyponatremia and hypernatremia in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 are associated with increased odds of adverse outcomes.
Sodium Abnormalities Common at Hospital Admission for COVID-19
Nearly 52% of adult patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in the metropolitan New York region had hyponatremia or hypernatremia at admission, a study found.
Abnormal Sodium Levels at Hospital Discharge Tied to Higher Death Risk
Both high and low serum sodium levels relative to an optimal range at hospital discharge are associated with an increased 1-year mortality risk.
Antidepressant, NSAID Identified as Culprits in SIADH Case
The patient noted that she was initiated on naproxen by her primary care physician 2 weeks prior to her presentation.
Hyponatremia in COVID-19 Cases Ups In-Hospital Mortality
Each level of worsening hyponatremia among patients hospitalized with COVID-19 was significantly associated with 43% increased odds of dying in the hospital, a study found.
Hyponatremia in Heart Failure Linked to High-Dose Furosemide, Spironolactone
In an observational study, furosemide doses of 250 to 500 mg and spironolactone doses of 50 to 100 mg were independently associated with approximately 14% and 20% increased odds of hyponatremia, respectively.
Furosemide Plus Sodium Chloride Not Helpful in Treating SIAD
Adding furosemide with or without sodium chloride to fluid restriction is not more effective than fluid restriction alone at correcting hyponatremia in patients with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis, a study found.
